Secret Santa 2017
 

I hate to remind everyone, but it's that time again!

Some of us need lead time to participate, so let's get going! I really look forward to this time as I no longer have family to shop for.

You are my family now!

I'm in.

I'm in.

I would love to participate, and as an early bonus gift to all of you, I recuse myself from the role of organizer.

I had a volunteer organizer, but she had a relapse of mononucleosis, so she's probably out.

So, little interest this year. Too bad. I have only two home periods left until Xmas. I can shop online, but have to be home to mail things. Someone PLEASE step up and get this off the ground!

Bump. Some of us will have to post overseas ....

Well I can organize for you if you like, but it looks like there are only 4 interested so far. Still want to do it?

make that 5 , im in

Thank you Monster.

Thanks Monster!

OK if all y'all are fine with 5.....

Does anyone want to impose a spending guideline/limit?

Anyone who's in (including late arrivals)......

PM me the following by Friday so folks can get shopping at the weekend if they so choose:

Your mailing details
Answer the following questions about yourself:
Are you willing to ship internationally?
Who has been your SS before?
Who have you been SS to before?
What is your favorite color?
What is your favorite animal?
What is your favorite pastime?
What objects do you collect?
What is your t-shirt size?
What is your head circumference?
Anything special santa really should know e.g.allergies?

I'm in!

and then there were six...

If anyone likes getting pressies and feels OK about not sending one in return (maybe finances are tight or logistics are impossible or you'd rather make a donation to a charity of your choice in your own time in lieu......) PM too -we have several dwellars who want to send but not receive and I'd like to include them if possible. Don't need to know your reason :)

(if that ends up working out, we may need to thank Santas privately to preserve anonymity of those who wish it...) ....winging it here. Or hoofing it, given the mode of transport Santa prefers

three sets of details outstanding according to interest expressed here. No panic, you have days, just keeping the thread afloat....

ahem Pamela, BigV, classicman....

Patience Grasshopper. I'm ill and very slow. Soon!

Last Call, it's Saturday already in many countries. Not easy to add people after details have been sent...... those who have already answered the grilling will get their recipient details tomorrow.

Didn't comment already but want to Join in? Still not too late as long as you are a dweller of reasonable longevity -we've been burned by newbishes before. Just PM the answers before I wake up tomorrow....

and open to dwellars who just want to send or can't send ...so don't be shy if you want to be a part but one of those aspects is stopping you....

deets, dude! We're waiting on you!

Can anyone in contact with him outside of Teh Cellah give him a nudge to see if he still wants in please

Just sent him an email.

Deets sent

Mine, not his

Umm... OK. I'm in for whatever. Who needs what from me?
Dunno what this deets thing is.

"Details." PM her with:

Pamela! you forgot to include your mailing address!!!

otherwise all is set and you will be notified of your recipients momentarily......

Oh dear, I really wasn't paying attention! Fargon too -I need your mailing address to pass on to your SS!

OK, you should all have your recipients' info by now, please feel free to PM me if you have any questions/concerns for me or them. Please let me know when you have mailed your gift. As soon as have the two missing mailing addresses I will pass them on, but meanwhile at least those two santas have the info to start thinking..... :) Have fun, everybody

Alrighty, everyone should now have everything they need to know about their victim. have at it, and message me when mailed, please.

....aaaand one is already on its way.... Thank you SS

current status: still only one on the way, one purchased sitting waiting to be forgotten....

;)

I'm pondering! I'm pondering!

Hmmmm.... this from the impatient one who started the whole thing..... ;)

Must get wrapping!

So ... wrapped it all, took it to the Post Office, tried to look up teh Cellar Victim address on th’internet and ... not eenough signal, so had to bring the dang package home agin!

OK, decision made. Shopping was....shocking. Think I'll make something instead. More personal that way. Mailing this week.

I said boughten
waiting tobe forgorten
until it's shipped
no Brownie pips

Some gifts has been boughten
Others, not yet.
But that was then and this is now.
Don't get het.

I still need to wrap
I still need to pack
I still need to ship
So get off my back

I wanted to find
Something I'd had in mind
It's one of those kind
Of (REDACTED)

I'm preserving the surprise
I'll keep you apprised
Until I've devised
A shipping receipt to show you

I think redacted is one of your favorite words.

But you use it in lieu of deleted, which is more cromulent in a digital context.

Shipped.

two on route...... (out of seven)......((I think))

No card.
No gift tags.
They are in individual bespoke boxes, wrapped.

And shipped, whew!

Santa's on his way! :santa:

3/7

90% purchased , 1 more goody to get
Should be fun(ny)

Heads up for Limey's SS, you know she's a knitter, right?
You can grab this ball of sterling yarn from Tiffany for only $9,000.
The cat could play with it till she gets around to used, too. ;)

next one shipped tips us over the halfway mark ....which would be fabulous as we are now only THREE WEEKS AWAY!

:D

S'funny you should say that. The customs declaration on the box says "YARN" ...

Nineteen days til Christmas and still 4 gifts to ship
3 Have been posted
2 still on the way
And a single Secret Santa Swag is home.

Mr Limey made me open a package! Glorious purple luxurious silk and cashmere yarn!

Mr. Limey has SS envy

My Secret Santa gift came today, Nuts I love Nuts. I must have been a squirrel in my past life.

Still 4 to be shipped..... Don't forget to let me know when you have released your reindeer, santas, ....a PM is fine. We're now 2 received, 1 in transit and 4 not yet shipped....

limey, you make me laugh!

Says the Jap Porn link.:rolleyes:

So, mah leeeetle Santa chums,

I'm getting a tad concerned ---we are two weeks away and to my knowledge 4 are still not shipped. More than half. thankfully all within the US but still..... If you are one of the four, please shoot me a PM to let me know where you are up to in the process....

Or elf, I'll have to start pun-ishing you.

I sleigh me.
